[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks - I did not know there were restrictions to joining the parishes in this area. I guess we've always lived close enough to the one we wanted to join so it was never an issue. We are members of BS, but now live closest to St. Louis. Geographically speaking BS, St. Mary's and St. Louis are all different degrees of close. We have a number of years before applying, but it makes sense to me to be part of the parish community where we also want to attend school (if possible). And with tuition differences between all the schools for both parish and non-parish members I was curious how people feel about the schools.[/quote]

I never understand these restrictions, b/c it's never been true to me  I also live in the Arlington Diocese.  I'm supposed to be in the St. Thomas a Beckett parish in Reston, but i'm a member of St. John Nuemann in Reston and my son goes to St. Joe's in Herndon. It's never been an issue.  [/quote]

Both St. Mary's and Blessed Sacrament are very up front regarding becoming a member of the parish and in-parish preference when you inquire about the schools.  It was the first thing that whomever answered the phone told us when we first inquired at both schools.  In practice, maybe it's just an Alexandria thing since there has been high demand for entrance into those schools over the years.
